Letters to the editor, Oct. 22, 2026
By John Leroux, Mark MacDonald October 21, 2026 at 5:58 p.m. Give me a reason I voted for Justin Towndale for councillor in 2014 and 2018, and was so impressed by his fiscal responsibility I had to vote for him for mayor in 2022. I have become a little disillusioned. As councillor, Towndale was not afraid to question spending, challenge budgets, and point out that taxpayers could not be expected to keep absorbing increases year after year.
Letters to the editor, Oct. 20, 2026
Words have power Reading has the power to transform lives. A good reader can naturally become a good writer. Through reading, we expand our vocabulary and develop the ability to achieve our goals. Its real power lies in the knowledge it unlocks. Newspapers, magazines, and books teach us how to extract valuable information and make informed, independent decisions. Reading also improves critical thinking and prepares us to face challenges.

Letters to the editor, Sept. 12, 2026
By Rene Asselin, Joanne Smith, John Leroux, and James Marshall September 11, 2026 at 2:23 p.m. Honour 9/11 Watching television the past days and the various stations letting viewers know that on Sept. 11 they will be airing tributes and remembrances of the tragic event that happened 25 years ago. It seems this happened not that long ago, but tragically it did. I remember the day that changed the world forever. Every year on that day, I also remember a young man I never met or knew.

Those who missed the show can learn about this “vibrant co-operative experiment” from the beautiful catalogue by the curators Emma Hassencahl-Perley and John Leroux.

That’s why it is absolutely understandable that so many people choose to get tribute tattoos of their pets. If you want your four-pawed or two-winged pet to become your tattoo model, there are so many options you can choose from.
Discover Your Community
Between Emancipation Day, la fête nationale de l'Acadie, and — for us here in Fredericton — Pride, August has been a month of reflection on the diversity and history of our communities. Whether somber or joyful, stories are the most important way for us to share our experiences and come together as a community. We’ve put together a list of some of our books that explore our communities.
Fundy Auditorium, Fundy National Park, New Brunswick
Designed by Nine Yards Studio, a new amphitheatre is a dynamic showcase for regional programming and performances. Photo by Julian Parkinson The water-carved Flowerpot Rocks at Hopewell Cape, part of a UNESCO-designated biosphere reserve, may be the most ubiquitous image of New Brunswick. The rocks are robustly dramatic and surrounded by constant movement and action. They’re the perfect precedent for a new amphitheatre at Fundy National Park, just up the coast from Hopewell.
